Ronni Kanoff began her professional life as a concert violinist. A graduate of the Juilliard School, NYC, Ronni was engaged as a first violinist with L’Orchestre de Chambre Jean-Francois Paillard, Paris.

Deciding to change the focus of her career, Ronni returned to the US where she earned a Juris Doctor, joined the New York bar, and practiced law as a litigator in New York City.

In 1984, Ms. Kanoff relocated with her family to Brussels. After working as a lawyer for several years, Ronni became aware of the need in Brussels for a professional recruitment firm specifically geared to the Brussels legal market.

In January, 2003 Ronni opened the Brussels office of AM Legal. In 2008 Ronni opened her own firm, Kanoff Legal, in order to continue, on a more independent basis, to serve her clients and candidates.

Maryia Rozum, a Belarusian jurist/lawyer, joined Kanoff Legal in 2013.

Having received her BA in International Law, Belarus, and MA in EU International Relations, College of Europe, Bruges, Maryia worked at the Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe, Brussels, assisting European Bars in a number of different legal matters.

Previously Maryia interned at the International Criminal Court, Office of the Prosecutor, and at the European Commission, DG AIDCO.

Having studied in Belarus, Italy and Belgium, Maryia is fluent in Russian (native), English, French, and Italian.

The Kanoff Legal team is pleased to welcome our new colleague, Ines Cilar.

Ines, who joined the Kanoff Legal team in 2018, received her Master degree at the Faculty of Law in Zagreb. Prior to joining to Kanoff Legal she has worked for a non-government organization in Zagreb as a legal and administrative assistant. She has also completed a traineeship at the European Parliament in Brussels.

In addition to her native Croatian, Ines is fluent in English and is taking intensive French classes to improve her language skills.
